Why We Recommend Lennox Furnaces for Alaskan Homes

Choosing to install a new furnace is a big decision. It’s not really something you think about until either your old furnace starts sputtering and dying or you’re constructing a new home.

It’s important to do your research and ask for an expert opinion to ensure you get the right one to suit your budget and your home. The right choice, if well-maintained, should last about 10-15 years while keeping your system running efficiently and your utility bills as low as possible.

So where do you begin?

Here at HeatSource Mechanical, we’ve been proudly providing HVAC services in the Mat-Su Valley and Eagle River for over 35 years. We’re happy to talk about your needs, help you make a decision, and take care of the installation process so your home can be toasty and warm again in no time.

Replacing an Old Furnace

Working with a new HVAC company is a little bit like preparing for a job interview. You should prepare a list of questions to ask the technician, and expect them to ask a few of you. This is really important, so you can make sure the technician is qualified, bonded and insured.

Questions to Ask the HVAC Company

  1. Does someone in management possess a Mechanical Administrators license?
  2. Does the company have a proper inspection and maintenance process?
  3. Does it have a regular training schedule for technicians?
  4. Are 50% or more of the technicians certified by a third party?
  5. What is the pass/fail policy for inspections?
  6. Does it have a confidentiality policy?

Questions the Technician Will Ask You

  1. How old is your furnace?
  2. Have the appliances been maintained and inspected annually by a licensed contractor?
  3. Have you had to perform any major repairs on your furnace in the last year?

These questions are really straightforward, but they will help the HVAC company assess whether your existing furnace can be repaired and salvaged or if it’s destined for the scrap heap. We support proactive maintenance over reactive repairs and replacements whenever it’s a viable option.
